A young female with history of genitourinary tuberculosis with solitary functioning kidney became pregnant 1 year after augmentation cystoplasty (AC) with ureteric reimplantation. Throughout pregnancy she had two episode of febrile urinary tract infection. Her renal function remained normal. She was planned for cesarian section due to obstetric indications. Despite altered pelvic anatomy, we successfully did the lower segment cesarian section. We reviewed the literature regarding pregnancy in patients with AC to find that what the treating Urologist and Gynecologist should know about these rare cases.
